From *a single* file - you can't. You could just change the file extension
to something like .xxx but you'd better hope you remember what the real
extension was.
From *all* files of that type:
Win XP - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307859
Vista - http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10877_11-6172036.html

Simply Remove the extension from file name. If you meant from file
types, please use this white space to explain what the problem is that
you are having, don't ask how to perform a procedure that won't fix the
problem.

Hello,
Tks for your previous explanations ... regretfully it doesn't work.
my problem is the following : i received a file in various pieces. the
extension is .001, .002, .003 ... etc. so the program "file splitter, file
joiner" would take and add the 001 to the 002 to the 003 and so on.
i made the mistake of trying to run a piece with a program ... hence i
created a file association. Now the "file splitter, file joiner" program
stops at the file .006, which is the one i tried to read with a specific
program, this .006 file has an association. Since then all files i trie to
join, the program stops at .005 ...
i cannot remove the extension .006 because the effect would be the same,
meaning the "file splitter, file joiner" program would stop at .005 ...
ignoring the new ".no extension" and the following .007, .008 ... etc.
the obvious solution would be to remove the file association ... but i can
only change the association. not remove it. What can I do ?? or how can i
remove the association.
tks for your help
Thomas

Tks for your answer ... yet it doesn't solve my problem ... which is the
following.
i received a file in many pieces. their extension is .001 .002 .003
... etc .022 .023
i didn't know how to deal with it and created an association with a program
with a random one (.006 not to mention it.) I found out later that with a
program that is a " file splitter, file joiner" you can put the file together
again.
this "file splitter, file joiner" program stops at .005 !!! i imagine that
it is because i have a file association with the .006 !!! hence i have
a file in 23 pieces ... and it will stop at .005 because the .006 has a
program association. This takes place with all files in pieces.
so question is ... how can i remove the association ? or how can i fix
that, so that the "file splitter, file joiner" program takes the .006
ignoring its association ??
tks for you efforts.

If these pieces are text files, you could rename them as
somefile.001.txt
somefile.002.txt
etc.
If they're binary files (essentially anything other than text), you
could rename them as
somefile.001.bin
somefile.002.bin
etc.
Then default viewers for text and binary (you may have no default
binary file viewer) would be used when you open these files.
However, you could right-click on the files, then select the program
you want to use to view them from the Open With entry in the pop-up
menu.

You'd need to delete the file type from your Registry.
